Q8. -(Topic 5) 

Topic 5, Contoso Ltd 

Overview 

Contoso, Ltd. is a manufacturing company that has 3,000 users. 

Contoso has a data center in Toronto and 20 offices across Canada. The offices connect to 

each other by using a WAN link. Each office connects directly to the Internet. 

Existing Environment 

Active Directory Environment 

The network contains an Active Directory forest named contoso.com. The forest contains a single domain. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2012. All servers run Windows Server 2008 R2. 

Each office contains three domain controllers. Each office is configured as an Active Directory site. 

System Center 2012 Infrastructure 

Contoso has a System Center 2012 infrastructure that contains 11 servers. The servers are configured as shown in the following table. 

Contoso has a private cloud named Cloud1. Cloud1 is managed by using VMM. The 

following applications run in Cloud 1: 

. Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 

. Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 

. A custom manufacturing application named App1 

The Hyper-V hosts are managed by using VMM. TOR-H01 and TOR-H02 are nodes in a failover cluster. 

The switches that are part of the network fabric are from various manufacturers and are managed by using SNMPv3. 

App1 

An application named App1 is deployed from a VMM service template that consists of one front-end web server and one back-end database server. App1 processes credit card 

information. 

The instance of App1 running in the data center uses two virtual machines named VM1 and 

VM2. TOR-H01 hosts VM1 and VM2. 

App1 is managed by using a custom management pack named MP1. The management 

pack used to monitor App1 contains a distributed application diagram named App1DAD. 

The service level agreement (SLA) for App1 states that App1 must be available 99 percent 

of the time. 

Problem Statements 

Contoso identifies the following issues: 

. Currently, all Operations Manager alerts are sent by email only. Database administrators require alerts to be sent by text message. The cell phone numbers of the database administrators are already configured in Operations Manager. 

. Administrators report that the processor performance counters for the Hyper-V hosts display values that are lower than the actual load on the hosts. 

Requirements 

Business Goals 

Contoso wants to minimize hardware and software costs, whenever possible. 

Planned Changes 

Contoso plans to add a new web server to the App1 service template. Traffic to the new web server will be load balanced with the existing web server by using a hardware load balancer. 

Technical Requirements 

Contoso identifies the following technical requirements for the planned deployment: 

. Automatically apply software updates issued by Microsoft to all of the Hyper-V hosts. 

. Automatically assign incidents to administrators when a Configuration Manager service fails. 

. Ensure that the Exchange Server administrators can request that new virtual machines be added to the Exchange Server organization by using Internet Explorer. 

. Monitor the uptime of all the Hyper-V hosts and all the virtual machines by using Operations Manager and VMM. Performance and Resource Optimization (PRO)-enabled management packs will be used. 

. Ensure that users have a self-service portal that provides them with the ability to back up individual virtual machines. Users must receive an email message confirming that the backup is complete. 

. Ensure that database administrators are alerted by a text message when an error occurs on a server that they manage. The text messages should be delivered regardless of the current network conditions. 

. Network administrators report that they currently use different tools to monitor the port status on the switches. The network administrators want to manage all of the switches by using Operations Manager. 

App1 Requirements 

Contoso identifies the following requirements for App1: 

. Create an object in the App1 management pack to track the SLA. 

. Ensure that multiple monitoring thresholds can be used for different instances of App1. 

. Ensure that App1 complies with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). 

You need to recommend a solution to meet the technical requirements for MP1. 

What should you include in the recommendation? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.) 

A. Aggregate rollup monitors 

B. Event collection rules 

C. Synthetic transactions 

D. Overrides 

Answer:

Q9. -(Topic 4) 

You need to recommend a solution to apply patches to the SQL Server servers. The solution must not affect user access to App1. 

What should you include in the recommendation? 

A. From System Center 2012 - Virtual Machine Manager (VMM), schedule a compliance scan.
